Abstract
A system may comprise a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device including a bore that is configured to accommodate a subject. The MRI device may include multiple superconducting magnets configured to generate a magnetic field in the bore. The MRI device may include one or more superconducting connections each of which is configured to connect at least two of the multiple superconducting magnets. The system may further include a radiation source configured to emit a radiation beam toward the bore. The radiation source may be able to rotate in a plane perpendicular to a direction of the magnetic field in the bore. The MRI device may further include one or more protection components configured to prevent at least a portion of the radiation beam from irradiating the one or more superconducting connections.
